That guys full of it. Weighs over 3 tons. Yeah right. My 2003 Dodge Ram Quad Cab 4x4 loaded up with everything except power pedals, side curtain airbags, leather heated seats, and upgraded sound system weighs around 5700-5800 pounds with the 20 inch wheels, nerf bars, and spray-in liner. And before that I had a 4.7L Dodge Dakota. Ummm they do make LEV or California specific versions of most vehicles. That was one of the holds up on the first Dodge HO Cummins for Cali residents. I pulled this from a site:

The 235-horsepower rating for the 4.7L Power Tech V8 engine does not apply to Low Emission Vehicles (LEV). The horsepower rating is 230 in the following LEV states: CA, CT, DE, MA, MD, NH, NJ, NY, RI, PA, VA, VT and the District of Columbia.

This guy needs to do research and oh he should restate the weights. Here's the heaviest Tundra and Titan per carpoint.

Toyota Tundra Limited Double Cab 4WD: 5020 lbs curb weight http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/spec_Exterior.aspx?

Nissan Titan LE Crew Cab 4WD: 5341 lbs curb weight

And oh about the gas mileage remark. I normally get 15.25-16 mpg on highway with my HEMI going 60-65 mph and that was driving from North Dakota to Montana. Last time I checked a Nissan Altima with the V6 and 5 spd was getting 23 mpg as a best highway and that was with the 6 spd per http://www.altimas.net
